Social tourism, Fair tourism:

What interrelations?

The Alliance
on Training and Research in Social and Fair Tourism, created in 2010 within the
International Social Tourism Organisation (ISTO), is a platform of researchers
and practitioners interested in academic research aiming at exchanging and
providing knowledge, training and research in social and fair tourism.

In the 2017
edition of its statutes (article 3), ISTO defines social tourism as as any
activity contributing to a greater access to holidays and tourism activities
for everyone. ISTO defines responsible and fair tourism as any forms of
people-oriented travel or holidays, based on discovery, encounters and
exchanges with local communities and contributing to the well-balanced
development of the destination areas.

For the 5th
edition of the Alliance meeting, we suggest a one-day workshop questioning the
relevance and topicality of the concepts of social and fair tourism, as well as
their possible divergences and commonalities from various perspectives:

·Sociological

·Spatial

·Economical

·Anthropological

·Legal

·Political/policy

We invite
researchers to present their research led at different levels (local -
international). Methodological aspects as well as case studies should be
clearly highlighted. Selected papers will be published.
